a risky operation more eruptions could happen at any time rescuers are having to tread quickly and carefully over still smoldering terrain. the weather could also hinder their efforts in what is a race against time. spec that during the next five days it will rain harder which could become a problem. if. there's a danger of mudslides because of all the debris from the volcano that's been left in the ravines and the rivers. sunday's eruption caught many by surprise the first explosion was followed by a strong second one people scrambling for cover searing horse hash gas and other deadly perils down the mountain a toxic mix that made this eruption particularly dangerous. and this was the grim aftermath of dead bodies so thickly coated with ash they resembled statues in some

cases the task of identifying bodies dead or alive almost impossible. one grandchild fifteen and another eight year old. that's what i will see if i can . oh something oh dear lord i have nothing i don't even have clothes to change into. a scene from the ad the size of the affected area becomes clear that will be three days of national mourning. the funerals here have already started as the chance of finding survivors diminishes there are likely to be many more to come. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world watching president vladimir putin has told austria's sebastian courts that his country is interested in repairing ties with the european union mr putin

behind the scenes as a group prepares to blast off for the international space station. but first we're going to stay firmly placed on earth here with now to. on the turkish economy tonight that's right granted it's very difficult to assess at this moment turkey's inflation rate has hit a six month high that's bad news for president regift type of the one who's facing an election at the end of the month and needs satisfied voters and one is struggling to keep the impression that the turkish economy is doing just fine growth is actually impressive but there are concerns about the long term consequences of the country's aggressive economic expansion. shoppers have plenty of options in istanbul's faint markets but there's less money in the pockets of turkish shoppers and that despite a supposedly strong economy the upswing is yet to register here. hundred fifty grams of cheese khan's twelve lire today it was five just three months ago.

everything is more expensive the dollar is climbing and climbing the election is coming up how is this supposed to go on. the lira has lost nearly twenty percent of its value since the beginning of the year a euro currently costs five liter and thirty one cents turkey central bank raised interest rates in an emergency move several days ago president otherwise a friend of lower interest rates kept quiet but urged his countrymen to remain loyal to the turkish currency. don't invest earlier in foreign currencies keep your lira only then can we show the national resolve that is our duty to the fatherland according to heir to one a foreign conspiracy is behind the crisis in reality turkey is a prosperous country whose economy is in full bloom he maintains. he points to mega projects like the third boss bruce bridge or the new istanbul airport scheduled to

open later this year as the world's largest turkey's economy grew by more than seven percent last year but experts warn that the upswing is all on loan. every investment made in recent years was financed by debt which our kids and grandchildren have to repay sure we're building bridges we're building tunnels but we're not building with our money we're spending money today that we only might be able to recoup at some point from these projects in the future. the german firm nordics builds wind turbines in turkey business virtually disappeared after the attempted coup two years ago but things have turned around since the beginning of the year and yet investors have been hesitant since the announcement of elections. this. process is now much slower investors take a look and think for a moment and say let's make our decision after the elections and that's why there's

a distinct slowdown. everyone is added to the uncertainty with a sharp statements during the campaign he announced that he would personally take over interest rate decisions following his reelection something the central bank handles independent of the president the finance world was alarmed. a country in which there's no trust in the rule of law and that constantly provokes the west just to appease its core voters that's not a country that makes foreign investors feel very confident to get to make the situation as a strategic move in early election before discontent. starts to grow might be smarter than a later one but it could still be a close one for everyone june twenty fourth. after the u.s. slaps terror of some mexican steel and aluminum mexico is now retaliating with tariffs on american farm and steel products pork bourbon whiskey cheese steel and motorboats face duties of twenty to twenty five percent analysts say trump could

use mexico's retaliation to finally rip up the nafta treaty free trade agreement between mexico canada and the us from the comic advisor larry kudlow said today that the president would prefer to negotiate separately with canada and mexico. so if you ask you has been following this story for us at the new york stock exchange sophie hi it's good to see you know there's this impression that there's not much mexico can do against the power of the united states so is this a bold move or rather a minimum reaction. well the mexican ministry estimates the value of these tariffs at about three billion dollars representing only around one point five per cent of annual trade between the two countries that is not a goal number but it is certainly a bold move when you look at the size of the mexican economy especially as these counterterrorism are being imposed on a broader range on imparted products not only on theo and eliminate him but

terrorists are going to hurt mexico anyway and is this a tit for tat reaction should also be seen in context with canada's reaction and the one of the european union and all in all it is going to be there and i think the eyes are lighting itself so if you briefly if you can what about nafta what are you hearing about the future of the agreement. well these terrorists are basically there is out faith negotiations on that that for now is debts and instead we're seeing these tailored bilateral trade agreements trump has been talking about and these tariffs are a political calculation not necessarily an economical one and markets fear these prospects of the terrorists and afraid war so if you ask it in new york thank you very much for the analysis. and we might be just days ahead of mark zuckerberg next big apology he's been clear saying that quote everything you share

on facebook you own and you have complete control over who sees it and how you share it but an article in the new york times now reports the social network has given dozens of device makers like apple or samsung access to users' friends data without their permission or facebook denied there was anything wrong journalists and whistleblowers had a different story to tell at a hearing at the european parliament. worries about data theft and privacy breaches drover the hearing with the committee on civil liberties justice and home affairs on monday night european lawmakers looked at ways to ensure dr protection and prevent illegal use of collected personal information this comes in the wake of the facebook data breach scandal in which cambridge analytic it used personal data to detect political preferences and manipulate voters. proponents of political

micro-targeting insist it is necessary tool for engaging with electorates however unless these political technology machines are built upon fundamental rights access and privacy by design it strains credulity that democracy can survive uninjured if we do not absorb the difficult lessons that we can learn from the cambridge analytical catastrophe. the hearing also aims to identify how the misuse of these data encroached on europeans fundamental rights such as privacy and the right to impossible information the european parliament is also looking at with the facebook abused its dominant market position hearings set to continue until next month. that's all for business it's back to right now and some brave men and women getting ready that's right t. minus a couple of hours i think of a year a multinational crew of astronauts and cosmonauts will blast off

a danger of espionage and here comes the rocket of a long shot at seven o'clock in the morning. right up until takeoff technicians work in the rocket and recheck everything meticulously because of the actual launch is one of the most dangerous moments of the whole flight obviously the launch is one of the more risky phases but it's also something the crew is really looking forward to to experience these incredible forces that push the humans from the surface of this planet into orbit it's remarkable the g. loads it's pretty quick less than nine minutes from lift off until you reach the weightlessness and you are traveling with almost twenty eight thousand kilometers per hour it's something to look forward to on that this flight to other astronauts
